5th Grade Rotational Symmetry

I got this idea from Arts and Activities Magazine, maybe the August issue? I gave 5th graders 1/8th of a circle and had them do a design featuring their name in bubble letters. Students then folded the paper over and transferred their design with pencil. The designs were traced with Sharpie marker, then I photocopied the designs four times. I gave the students the four copies, but kept the original, just in case I had anyone try to speed through the coloring process, or one of the papers got lost. This would be a really good activity if you knew that you were going to have a sub.

About Me

I have just finished my 5th year of teaching at Community Elementary School in rural Tennessee. I love this online collaboration between art teachers, as it is nice to have other people out there with the same experiences.
